Great and Supportive Place to Work

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a lot of support on your team, from Learning & Development, and from management. It's becoming a larger company which is good because there's more structure, but still small enough that you can have a real impact. It's positive, modern, fun, vibrant, and engaging.

Cons

Sometimes things get lost in the mix, but that's true at 99% of companies. It's a challenge everyone faces and is not unique here.

A demanding, high energy place to work

Customer success specialist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great colleagues, exceedingly friendly, welcoming and helpful - Management goes long ways to make sure your work and effort are recognised and validated - Very positive energy in the office on all levels and in every team - High level of autonomy for individual work within well established structures (as opposed to chaos and confusion present in other workplaces) - Open and transparent communication from leadership - Very demanding in terms of turn around times and flexibility (if this is what you're looking for)

Cons

- Sales oriented office makes it easier for the work and effort of non-sales functions to be overlooked (even though management does put in effort to counter this) - Most main functions and decision making located in US, making communication/problem solving difficult at times - Very demanding in terms of turn around times and flexibility (if this is NOT what you're looking for)
